Bad cops get ferreted out by internal affairs all the time and the system works for the most part. I don't believe George Floyds skin color was a significant factor other than the drastic treatment Derek Chauvin got in the press to drive this terrible over reach. If G. Floyd was white there would not even be a story so which color of skin is likely over or under represented.

The race card. I suggest to all that you use my simple yet difficult to actually do.
Simply in your mind reverse the skin color. If, that then reverses your view you have a problem. Sometimes we call that white guilt. I am white, I do not have white guilt.
The charge of racist is truly powerful. A big reason for that is it is impossible to prove you are not racist. Reality check. You meet someone. To claim you are not aware it is male, female, old, young, thin, fit, fat well dressed, black, white, hispanic, oriental etc etc etc. You are lying to others. More important, you are lying to yourself.
